Engelbertha is in Origin.
Engelbertha is the feminine form of the Germanic name Engelbert, built from Old High German engil/angil (“angel” or “Angle,” the Germanic tribe) and beraht/berht (“bright, famous”). The compound thus conveys “bright angel” or “illustrious Angle,” with later folk etymology favoring the angelic sense as German Engel came to mean “angel.”
While the masculine Engelbert was well established in the Middle Ages - borne by nobles and by Saint Engelbert of Cologne - the feminine appears in later records, especially in German-speaking regions and the Low Countries. It had modest 18th–19th‑century use in Catholic communities and persists rarely today. Variants include Engelberta (German, Dutch, Polish), Engelberte (French), and the archaic or Anglicized spellings Engelbertha/Engleberta. Common short forms are Berta/Bertha, Berte/Berthe, and Engel. The -bert/-berht element links Engelbertha to names like Robert, Albert, and Bertha.
